    *Disclaimer - This recipe was originally published in 2013. I'm working hard to update all my older recipes with recipe cards and additional recipe information, but getting to all of them will take time. Please bear with me. In the meantime let me assure you that this recipe is still a winner and one I'm sure you'll be well pleased with when you make it at home.

    How this recipe came to be:

    I found and adapted this recipe slightly from the cookbook: "At My Grandmother's Table," by Faye Porter.

    I chose not to make Faye's blueberry sauce to top off the casserole but instead used maple syrup. To me, the flavor of the maple syrup adds more to the pancake flavor of this dish.

    Can other frozen (or fresh) fruit be used in this recipe?

    Sure! I don't see why not.

    The next time I make this I think I'm going to use strawberries or peaches.

    When using frozen fruit, do not thaw first.

    When using fresh fruit, cut the fruit into bite-sized pieces and carefully fold the fruit into the batter.

    Can this breakfast casserole be made in advance and baked later?

    Yes.

    You can prepare the sausage blueberry casserole the night before and then cover it well and store in the refrigerator until you're ready to bake.

    After refrigerating, allow the unbaked breakfast casserole to sit on the counter at room temperature before baking, uncovered, at 350-degrees for 50-55 minutes.

    Can the nuts be omitted from this recipe?

    Yes, by all means, if you're not a fan leave them out.

    Or, if some people like nuts and some people don't, why not do what I did (shown in the video) and put nuts on only half of the casserole? That way you've pleased everyone!

    What other nuts would work for this recipe?

    • walnuts
    • hazelnuts
    • cashews
    • pistachio
    • almonds
    • pine nuts
